🎆 Fourth of July Pet Safety Tips 🐾

Keep your furry friends safe and stress-free!

🔹 Keep pets indoors: Fireworks can be scary!
🔹 Create a cozy, quiet space: Comfort goes a long way.
🔹 ID tags & microchips: Just in case they get spooked and run.
🔹 Skip the scraps: BBQ food can upset tummies.
🔹 Avoid glow sticks: Fun for humans, not safe for pets.
🔹 Walk before dark: Get exercise in before the booms begin.

❤️ Keep them calm, safe, and cuddled this Independence Day! Thank you to the men and women who make freedom possible.

🐾 Happy Pawther’s Day from Ocala Pet Palooza! 🐾

Today we’re celebrating all the pawesome pet dads out there. The treat givers, belly rubbers, early-morning walkers, toy throwers, and proud stroller pushers! Whether you’re a dad to a dog, cat, bird, bunny, or bearded dragon, your love and dedication make a world of difference.

We know pet parents are family, too. That’s why today we’re sending extra tail wags, purrs, and happy howls to every "pawther" who spoils their fur babies and shows up every day with kindness, care, and kibble.

Here’s to the men whose hearts are full of fur, and whose clothes are covered in it too! 💙🐶🐱

Wishing you a relaxing, treat-filled day. You’ve earned it.
